Maybe they have a little side bet as to see who can apologise to more people for things that happened in the past that do nothing more then create a victim mentality in the group being apolgised to.

One thing about it. This joker has offended so many people over the last week, there will be more people questioning his motives than there have been so far in his term.

The more questions, the more who view his actions as self-promoting, the better.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in the angry dome.

Whether he brings the greek pillars with him is uncertain.

*snort*

You owe me more merlot.

Great writing; tragically true premise.

An apology would be a slap in the face for all who fought, and those that died, in the war with Japan.

I am an “atomic bomb baby.” My father was awaiting his orders for the invasion of the main islands of Japan when the bombs were dropped and Japan surrendered. He told me that his unit was told to expect 85% casualties and that he would almost certainly be killed. He was an Army doctor and the Japanese often killed the doctors first; they did not honor the Red Cross at all. Oh yeah, he was drafted too. Most Americans do not know that almost every doctor in training in the U.S. was drafted into the Army Medical Corps, and that hundreds of them were killed.

We also had a good family friend who survived the Bataan Death March. When he came home in 1945, the doctors told him he had the body of a 50-year-old.

Genocide means mass killing of human beings. The Japanese were not human beings in those years, they were animals.

minor quibble:

Iran is toying with nuke talks because they know our leader didn’t even have the backbone to address the slaughter of protesters.

It’s because Dear Liar was busy taking notes.

Im reading a book called “Ship of Ghosts”, which is the story of the USS Houston. The ship was sunk and the crew was held for 3 yrs by the Japanese. What these men endured is shocking. I am soo sick of this apologies!

Students in my IR class would unhesitatingly claim that the US use of nukes was genocidal (ignoring that genocide is the systematic attempt to eradicate an entire people), and – typically – would consider nothing to the contrary.

I doubt that Barry’s view is much different at all. Despite their anti-nuke frenzy, the Democrats will never be able to purge themselves of what they perceive as shame that it was one of their own who launched ‘em.

(And, for the record, Truman was right to do so.)
